baldie Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Here,s my old 6mmBr. It was not getting used as i never got on with the old laminate stock it was in. Got my sticky little mitts on an XLR and did some bad things to it. Anyone familiar with the newest breed of cammo out there ? A-Tacs. Very clever, and basically a move on from digital. It uses random pixels in a pattern that has around 20 shades/colours in it. http://www.a-tacs.com/ Anyway, i thought it may be a candidate for some Duracoat and a bit of an experiment. It didn,t turn out quite the same, but lessons were learnt, and it was fun. It gave a very pretty job in the end. The stock is a very nice bit of kit. Well made, and light. Unfortunatly, all 25 that came over were damaged in shipping and will need some remedial duracoat. My copy has around a dozen colours in, and the change from one to another is very subtle....dont think the camera has picked it up properly.

DaveT Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Dave....you are a very bad man....... you know I will have to buy one of those from you now!!! Will it be 6mmBR or 6mm SLR? Looks fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybrock Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Looks good Dave, but is it my mince pies playing tricks or is it the back ground making it difficult to focus on the rifle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted December 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 The 6mmSLR reamers are on their way Dave, but they are set up for single shot actions. All depends on whether you want a repeater or not. I,m just building a repeater 6mmBr for a chap on here, on a Valkyrie, and the early developement work, specifically aimed at 6mmbr has paid off. It feeds and eject flawlessy from standard AICS mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan534 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 What rifle, I cant see it? They should call it 'patio paving cammo' or PPC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveW Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Looks fantastic Dave, I imagine it's fairly labour intensive? Merry Xmas Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted December 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Hi Steve, Yes it is , but in a different way to a stencilled design. There is actually more spraying time, but obviously no stencil time , or cost on this pattern. Its also amazingly frugal on paint, even though there are loads of shades on there. Happy Christmate buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
